RSSApple quietly refreshes MobileMe

Yesterday, Apple pushed out an update to its MobileMe service, promising an overall enhancement in performance.
MobileMe, Apple's e-mail synchronization service, had an extremely problematic launch this summer, with numerous outages, rashes of lost e-mails, and cases of surreptitious installations in Vista. Many users complained that "it just doesn't work."
Yesterday, MobileMe was quietly updated by Apple, with the note, "Since server-side updates are a bit more innocuous than a standard software update to Mac OS X or Microsoft Windows, it's easy not to notice that updates are occurring. Usually the only hint of these updates is that things just "work better."
But enough playing with Apple slogans. The update enhances localization for all of the MobileMe Web applications, and fixes the member name suggestion function when the name a user wants is already taken. Performance issues with Mail, Calendar, Contacts, and Gallery in Firefox 3 and IE7 have been resolved, and an across the board reliability improvement has also been made, according to the company.
does anyone know approx how many mobile me subscribers there are?

|At least I don't have to worry about trying to back up any of my corrupted Windows Home server files on the equally elegant MobileMe...

|Been using WHS since it was in Beta. Haven't had a single corrupt file.
But keep trolling it. It's always nice to have the opportunity to throw it back at you.

|When accessing Mobile Me with IE 7 it still prompt you that IE 7 is not compatible totally with Mobile Me. You would have thought Apple could have solved this by now if they wanted too. It appears to me that Apple wants user's to be using Apple software on both the Mac and the PC to access Mobile Me. I really liked Dot Mac and I really do not like Mobile Me.
Its not a service I will continue to pay for after my subscription is up.

|LOL. I wouldn't tell anybody you use IE7. Keep that one on the "down low". ^_^

|Firefox works perfectly. Chrome works perfectly. Safari works perfectly. Why waste time coding for the weak standards support and buggy renderer in IE when that is not their target audience?
